The "dog days of summer" will be much worse for many dogs in Den

Dennis Township - The "dog days of summer" will be much worse for many dogs in Dennis Township that will be tied, chained or penned outside for extensive hours in the summer heat. Ditto for freezing weather in the winter. Dennis Township is now going on three years behind the curve with regard to upgraded animal welfare ordinances. Also, no animal welfare committee comprised of private citizens, animal welfare groups, veterinarians, etc., has been established despite many who would participate. Why no action?
